Tom goes wild at La Brocca

West Hampstead Life Posted on November 28, 2012 by Tom VanheemsDecember 20, 2013

La Brocca’s “Wild Weekend” sounded intriguing, so I raced down there as soon as I could only to find it wasn’t some kind of seedy NW6 orgy after all. (That was happening at Lower Ground Bar next door). Instead, this … Continue reading →

West Hampstead Life Posted on November 13, 2012 by Tom VanheemsDecember 20, 2013

With a fair degree of enthusiasm, three of us rolled up at Spiga (via a quick one in The Gallery), in order to check out their recently revised menu – the first overhaul since it opened just over a year ago. I’ve … Continue reading →

Tom says Ciao to Kilburn

West Hampstead Life Posted on October 21, 2012 by Tom VanheemsJanuary 16, 2017

Walking down the Kilburn High Road on a Sunday, in a bit of a Côtes du Rhône Villages daze (L’Arnesque 2009 from Oddbins the previous evening – fantastic bottle of wine), I walked past a specials board enthusiastically highlighting a … Continue reading →

Tom checks out Babur Empire

West Hampstead Life Posted on August 13, 2012 by Tom VanheemsDecember 20, 2013

What to eat on a very warm, sticky, humid evening? A refreshing, chilled summer soup? A Greek salad? Some ice-cream? (errm, yes, actually..) Or alternatively….a nice, hot, spicy curry! Having enjoyed several deliveries from the excellent Tiffin Tin on Mill … Continue reading →

Tom does the maths at Spiga and Small & Beautiful

West Hampstead Life Posted on July 2, 2012 by Tom VanheemsDecember 20, 2013

E=MC2. No – I’ve never really understood it either. And anyway, eating and drinking is much more fun than algebra. With that in mind, it’s time for a couple of shout-outs to two NW6 eateries which seem to consistently get … Continue reading →

Tom finds room for a Wet Fish crumble

West Hampstead Life Posted on April 16, 2012 by Tom VanheemsJanuary 16, 2017

Valiantly battling a vicious hangover, following another all-dayer comparing Sunday pub roasts in NW London (yes, life’s hard), I struggled along to The Wet Fish Café for a spot of Monday-blues-bashing lunch. Things got off to a promising start when my soya … Continue reading →

Just reporting for duty, a little late, on an excellent evening with Jonathan at Guglee, West End Lane’s newest curry house. Owners Sachin and Nikhil had kindly offered us a meal in order to test out the menu, which was particularly … Continue reading →

Tom refuels at Woody’s Grill

West Hampstead Life Posted on February 20, 2012 by Tom VanheemsJanuary 16, 2017

Whilst stumbling home with a friend at 1am recently, in ludicrously cold conditions I might add, we popped into Woody Grill on the Kilburn High Road, to politely enquire as to whether they might still be serving grub? “As long … Continue reading →

Tom goes upmarket

West Hampstead Life Posted on February 11, 2012 by Tom VanheemsJanuary 16, 2017

Like hardened SAS assassins crossing a heavily guarded border, we bravely fought off icy winds and snow to enjoy a complimentary menu test at One Blenheim Terrace, St. John’s Wood, via a quick, warming nip in The Salt House. Immediately apparent … Continue reading →

Tom’s Tavern Tart

West Hampstead Life Posted on January 28, 2012 by Tom VanheemsDecember 20, 2013

I was lazily leaning against the Priory Tavern bar (or the other way round) drinking Malbec at the recent #whampgather event, when a mysterious rumour emerged that a freshly baked tart had just become available. Having only eaten a few … Continue reading →
